American Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other cri National teria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Standard Consensus is established when in the judgement of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanim ity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he or she has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not con forming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop stan dards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any Ameri can National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute. iii iv FOREWORD (The information contained in this foreword is not part of this American National Standard (ANS) and has not been processed in accordance with ANSI's require ments for an ANS. As such, this foreword may contain material that has not been subjected to public review or a consensus process. In addition, it does not contain requirements necessary for conformance to the standard.) Development The 1961 edition of ANSI Standard A 117.1 presented the first criteria for accessi bility to be approved as an American National Standard and was the result of research conducted by the University of Illinois under a grant from the Easter Seal Research Foundation. The National Easter Seal Society and the President's Com mittee on Employment of People with Disabilities became members of the Secre tariat, and the 1961 edition was reaffirmed in 1971. In 1974, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development joined the Sec retariat and sponsored needed research, which resulted in the 1980 edition. After further revision that included a special effort to remove application criteria (scoping requirements), the 1986 edition was published and, when requested in 1987, the Council of American Building Officials (CABO) assumed the Secretariat. Central to the intent of the change in the Secretariat was the development of a standard that, when adopted as part of a building code, would be compatible with the building code and its enforcement. The 1998 edition largely achieved that goal. In 1998, CABO became the International Code Council (ICC). 2003 Edition New to the 2003 edition are criteria for elements and fixtures primarily for children's use; enhanced reach range criteria; transportation facilities; additional provisions for assembly areas; and an addition and rearrangement for accessible dwelling and sleeping units. These new criteria are intended to provide a level of coordina tion between the accessible provisions of this standard and the Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines (FHAG) and the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessi bility Guidelines (ADAAG). Illustrative figures are numbered the same as corre sponding text to simplify the use of the Standard. Unless specified otherwise, figures are not part of the Standard. Should a figure appear to illustrate criteria that differ with the text of the Standard, the criteria stated in the text govern. ANSI Approval This Standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by the Accred ited Standards Committee A 117 on Architectural Features and Site Design of Pub lic Buildings and Residential Structures for Persons with Disabilities. ANSI approved the 2003 edition on November 26, 2003. Committee approval of the Standard does not necessarily imply that all Committee members voted for its approval. Adoption ICC/ANSI A 117.1-2003 is available for adoption and use by jurisdictions interna tionally. Its use within a governmental jurisdiction is intended to be accomplished through adoption by reference in a.ccordance with proceedings establishing the jurisdiction's laws. Formal Interpretations Requests for Formal Interpretations on the provisions of ICC/ANSI A 117.1-2003 should be addressed to: ICC, Chicago District Office, 4051 W.
